A day in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs
1. Start at Centennial Parklands: Begin your day with a walk around the expansive Centennial Parklands. Enjoy the many trails, ponds, and greenery spanning 470 acres. No visit to the park is complete without strolling along the tree-lined track at Busby's Pond, my favourite place in Sydney. I always grabbed a delicious mocha from Green Bean Café, Clovelly Rd, for the walk. Tell Catherine and Andy that Dee says Hi… if you’re lucky enough to get there.
2. Brunch at Bake Bar: Head to Bake Bar on Frenchman's Road for a delicious brunch. Indulge in their famous breakie bowl, or choose from their many delectables.
3. Coogee to Bondi Coastal Walk: Spend the day exploring the Eastern suburbs beaches. Start at Coogee Beach, embark on the 6km scenic coastal walk towards Bondi Beach, stopping at Gordon's Bay, Clovelly, Bronte, and Tamarama along the way. Enjoy the stunning views and maybe even take a dip in the refreshing ocean waters, or snorkelling at Clovelly. You’ll be spoilt for choice of restaurants along the way.
4. Bondi Icebergs: Take a break at Bondi Icebergs, where you can people-watch, grab a drink, or even swim in the iconic 50-meter pool overlooking Bondi Beach. It's a perfect spot to soak in the atmosphere and admire the breathtaking views.
5. Dinner at Brown Sugar: Conclude your day with a delicious dinner at Brown Sugar in Bondi. Don't miss their famous fish pie, a favourite dish of mine. With plenty of dining options and bars in Bondi, you can unwind and reminisce on your magical day in the East.
